Helen Chamberlain said something earlier on soccer AM about Real Madrid being investigated for tax fraud so might have to offload their big earners.... genuine or joke as I have seen nothing?

I thought everyone knew about the dodgy big clubs in spain. It'll be like proving Diana was murdered though.

I thought that it was well known that Real Madrid receive financial assistance from the Spanish government because they despise the Catalans (Barcelona).

We should find out if the deal for the Brit was legal under these bollocks EU rules, if it is (it should, we paid it off and more unlike some) we should then grass the Vale up! And Barcelona receive Catalan government aid because they hate Spain.

Whoever and whatever, we all know they are both dodgy as fuck. And we all know nothing will get proven or done about it.

Getting on the wrong side of European State Aid is serious shit. Those folks make HMRC look like Mother Theresa. When they want their cash back, they get it. Don't matter how big or important you are.
Seeing how this this works out could be very interesting.

If this turns out to be true and they were found guilty, would buy out clauses etc become null and void or would they still stand?

Why should other European countries including little malta contribute to bail out Spain just for them to plough the money into their over- spending flamboyant clubs?

These Real Madrid tax/debt stories have gone on for years yet nothing ever gets done about it.
